Silk
Natural Braided Silk Suture for Reliable Tissue Approximation
Silk (İpek) suture is a non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of fibroin, an organic protein derived from natural silk. Owing to its long clinical history and dependable performance, silk remains one of the most widely preferred suture materials across multiple surgical disciplines.
The braided structure provides excellent handling characteristics, allowing precise tissue approximation and easy knot placement. Silk sutures offer very high tensile strength and secure knot positioning, ensuring dependable wound closure throughout the healing period.
Silk (İpek) sutures are commonly used in general surgery, ophthalmology, and for soft tissue approximation and ligation. The material’s flexibility and handling make it particularly suitable for procedures requiring controlled knotting and stability.
